3. The Classification of Perception Based on The Total Response

The researcher tried to classify the perception of all participants by analyzing the total response score in the close-ended questionnaire. The classification was based on the total response score of all participants’ perception of their questioning skill performance, both as students and as teachers.

3.1 Microteaching student’s perception as student

The researcher calculated the total response score of participants’ perception as students to determine the classification of the perception based on the total response score.  Maximum total score = the number of participants x the number of items x maximum degree = 55 x 11 x 4= 2420  Minimum total score = the number of participants x the number of items x maximum degree = 55 x 11 x 1 = 605  Range = maximum total score – minimum total score Degree = 2420 – 605 = 453.75 = 454 4 Based on the calculation, the classification of the Microteaching students’ perception as students was described below.  605 – 1059 : very bad perception  1058 – 1512 : bad perception  1513 – 1966 : good perception  1967 – 2420 : very good perception Based on the description, the participants had positive perception if their score was x, where 1513 ≤ x ≤2420 and the participant had negative perception if hisher score was x, where 605 ≤ x ≤1512. 36

3.2 Microteaching students’ perception as teachers

The researcher calculated the total response score of participants’ perception as teachers to determine the classification of the perception based on the total response score.  Maximum total score = the number of participants x the number of items x maximum degree = 55 x 12 x 4 = 2640  Minimum total score = the number of participants x the number of items x maximum degree = 55 x 12 x 1 = 660  Range = maximum total score – minimum total score Degree 4 = 2640 – 660 = 495 4 Based on the calculation on the total response, the classification of the Microteaching students’ perception as teachers was described below.  660 – 1154 : very bad perception  1155 – 1650 : bad perception  1651 – 2145 : good perception  2146 – 2640 : very good perception Based on the description, the participant had positive perception if their score was x, where 1651 ≤ x ≤2640 and the participant had negative perception if their score was x, where 660 ≤ x ≤1650. After the data in the close-ended questionnaire had been analyzed, the data of open-ended questionnaire then were analyzed by classifying the participants’ answers and also the researcher summarized the answers and drew the conclusion of the open-ended questions. Then, the researcher also explained the meaning of the results. After analyzing the questionnaires, the researcher took two students 37 from each class as samples to be involved in the focus group discussion. Its aim was to verify the students’ answer in the questionnaire. Next, the researcher made the transcript of the focus group discussion result. Then, the researcher made the summary based on the data collection. After that, the researcher analyzed the data and compared the answers with participants’ answers in the questionnaire. The purpose was to follow up and verify the questions in the questionnaire to gain more detailed information. So, the researcher then was able to draw a conclusion of the students’ perception. Finally, the researcher wrote the explanation from all the data.

F. Research Procedure

There were seven steps in conducting this research. They were planning, defining the population and sampling, asking permission, constructing the instruments, collecting the data, analyzing the data and reporting the data obtained.

1. Planning

The first step, the researcher defined the problems. It was found that the researcher needed to know the Microteaching students’ perception on their questioning skill performance in the English Education of Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta. The researcher also tried to find a review of related literature. The literature was applied as the guidance of conducting the further research. This review of related literature was based on reading some relevant books and documents concerning the topic, problem determined and also research design.
